A Single Finger

Boom!

Wherever the fire qi passed.

Everything seemed to be burned away!

Phoenix Tower and Dragon Pavilion, winding corridors and waist-high eaves, intricately crafted rockeries, rippling green waters... everything within a radius of a hundred meters was instantly destroyed by this surge of fire qi!

Even Ding Ling was blasted three steps backward by the fire qi.

Fortunately, he had been prepared. He continuously employed deft force, redirecting the incoming power and dispersing the overwhelming, heaven-surging fire qi.

"What is this thing?"

After the fire qi dispersed, Ding Ling stood several yards away and stared. His eyes gleamed as he saw everything clearly.

Ding Ling was astonished and somewhat dazed.

He strode forward and activated Iron Hand Forging. His hand radiated a scorching heat capable of melting metal and iron as he reached it into the flame.

It was very hot.

But compared with the temperature of Iron Hand Forging, it was about the same.

"Phew."

Ding Ling let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that using Iron Hand Forging to seize the finger would not be a problem.

And that was indeed the case.
